• General: I've been training consistently since I moved into school but I decided I needed a break from blogging because my head was not in the right place and neither was my training. I've been eating a lot, growing steadily and getting stronger these last 2 weeks but I have not documented a thing in order to clear my head and reset. I went to Crossfit Iron Will today owned by a really great guy named Heath who has decided to let me be an apprentice in his gym while I'm living in Springfield. I'm going to start going to his gym to get coaching techniques and study how one runs a Crossfit gym beginning this week and I'm really excited for this opportunity. I contacted him and offered to do it for free telling him how I aspire to one day open my own facility and he was nice enough to allow me to help. Today was FGB6 so I jumped in and did the workout, smashing a huge PR. All the strength components were a lot easier with all the size and strength I've put into my shoulders.
• Nutrition: Didn't eat much today, but it was good. The last 2 weeks I've been eating college food, but I've been doing well. Eating 200-300g of protein a day consisting of hamburger, chicken, and some dairy in the form of yogurt and cheese (mostly cheesesticks). I've been adding a few pounds of fat over the last month but I've had 5 people tell me that I've gotten a lot bigger muscles in my upper body since they last saw me. I've drank more than I'm used to since being here, but that will level off soon.
• Body: Pretty good. I've been mobilizing consistently so I'm feeling a lot more limber in my lower body. I tweaked my pectoral this week curling but it feels 100% now.
• Sleep: Pretty good actually, been taking melatonin on the night's I know I will sleep well. Only had one real night of bad sleep which was because I was out drinking.
• Reflections: It clicked that I need to start blogging again because I want to be able to look back on the last month of training before I attempt the hardest thing I've ever done (105 mile run). I'm planning on doing 1 more long run before the race which should be about 4 hours the first weekend in October. I'm continuing the Greyskull Linear Progression until the race and I plan to keep eating all the food I've been eating too. After the race I'm going to re-evaluate my goals and decide what I want to do in 2012. I'm also starting a project in my wellness class to change a behavior, and I chose to improve my mobility. My goal is to do 20 minutes of mobility every single night before bed lasting until October 18. I have to document it all so I'm looking forward to finally having a reason to do it consistently. I'm back and feeling better than ever, so hopefully my followers forgive me for the layoff and you can look forward to some quality training in the next few months.
